Theoretical: "based on or calculated through theory rather than experience or practice." So if it didn't get shown or happen, but is what they are thought to be able to do by fans, guides or otherwise, it is theoretical. So BIG having infinite speed is not shown, but is being interpreted as his upper limits, therefore him having infinite speed is theoretical by definition.
Also according to his profile it can also be translated as "unlimited" as opposed to infinite and can be considered as potential hyperbole to say he can achieve actual infinite speed.

After breaking Polnareff's Requiem. Giorno holding the "arrow" buys his own Gorud experience and expresses it. The power of the "arrow" is completely under Giorno's control.
The ability is to return all the actions and intentions of the attacking opponent to nothing. He has an attack power that surpasses the existing stands, so he can be said to be the Ultimate Stand. "
^ This doesn't indicate superior speed.
"the abilities of requiem transformed by the "Arrow" is incomparable with existing stands....".
This could easily refer to only his RtZ ability being superior, not his speed or even the speed of the skill. Also BIG as he exists has not moved at infinite speed, and its frankly questionable if he can since his rating could be translated as unlimited to, and render literal "infinite" as hyperbole, which is the conclusion the wiki came to already. MiH doesn't even exist at that time, and hasn't been created when this was published, so can't be reasonably compared in the guide as they had no idea of him. So I don't see that as convincing proof that he has infinite speed since it could just refer to the potency of his ability compared to that of others, and at best you can say he could scale to BIG, who is varied and may or may not have the ability to move at literal infinite speed.
I just did a little more digging btw, and JoJo-a GoGo was released in 2000 only going up to Part 5, while MiH didn't even appear till 2003, therefore it is impossible for the guide to consider MiH in its statements about GER being a superior stand, or having superior stats to other stands etc.
I don't think a single secondary source comparison indirectly to BIG, who we don't even consider to have infinite speed on the wiki and who has never shown it is enough proof that GER has infinite speed, including with RtZ. Because GER is not compared to MiH, and only possibly BIG, I don't see a reason to give him infinite speed even with RtZ at this time, unless you can prove the skill itself is demonstrably infinite in speed.
